Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 7:38

(38) And stood at his feet behind him.—The common usage of the East left the court-yard of the house open while such a feast as that described was going on, and there was nothing to hinder one who had not been invited from coming even into the guest-chamber. It is possible, indeed, that the feast may have been intentionally open to all comers. Our Lord’s position has to be remembered as we read the narrative.To wash his feet with tears.—Many different emotions may have mingled in the woman’s... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Luke 7:1-50

Three Estimates of One Character Luke 7:4 ; Luke 7:6 ; Luke 7:9 I. In the first place, we have the estimate formed of this man by his neighbours, 'Saying that he was worthy'. Now in regard to this testimonial, two or three remarks may be made. (1) For one thing, it must, I think, he conceded that these elders had enjoyed the best opportunities for forming a judgment regarding him. He lived in the midst of them. (2) But these elders had another advantage in coming to a knowledge of this... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Luke 7:36-50

Chapter 13THE ANOINTING OF THE FEET.Luke 7:36-50WHETHER the narrative of the Anointing is inserted in its chronological order we cannot say, for the Evangelist gives us no word by which we may recognize either its time or its place-relation; but we can easily see that it falls into the story artistically, with a singular fitness. Going back to the context, we find Jesus pronouncing a high eulogium upon John the Baptist. Hereupon the Evangelist adds a statement of his own, calling attention to... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 7:1-50

A CENTURION'S SERVANT HEALED (vs.1-10) The Lord then came to Capernaum and there was appealed to by a Gentile, a Roman centurion, by means of the mediatorship of Jewish elders. In contrast to this a woman of Canaan later came to Him herself, asking His mercy for her daughter (Matthew 15:22), but He ignored her because she appealed to Him as though she was Jewish. But when she called Him "Lord" rather than "Son of David," He reminded her that she was in the place of a "dog," being a Gentile.... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Luke 7:1-50

HIS FAME SPREADING THE CENTURION’S SE RV ANT (Luke 7:1-10 ) Matthew describes the centurion as personally entreating our Lord (Matthew 8:5-13 ), but Luke tells how he first approached him through the Jewish elders and then through other friends. THE WIDOW OF NAIN (Luke 7:11-17 ) THE WIDOW OF NAIN (Luke 7:11-17 ) is a story original with Luke. Note that no appeal was made to our Lord in this case, but that His compassion was awakened by the sight itself. This was probably the first... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Luke 7:1-50

A Conspectus of Christ's Miracles Luke 7:0 My purpose is to show the congruity of Christ's miracles; to point out with what beauty and precision they accommodate themselves to one another; to indicate the family likeness of the miracles; how much soever they may seem to differ from one another, yet there is a central and all-uniting line bringing them into perfect congruity, and showing how possible it is in the midst of great diversity to have real spiritual unity. Observe what is in the... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Luke 7:36-50

(36) And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him: and he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat. (37) And, behold, a woman in the city which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment. (38) And stood at his feet behind him, weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. (39) Now when the... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Luke 7:38

Jesus Christ was then at table, after the manner of the Orientals, reclined at length on a couch, a little raised from the ground, having his face turned towards the table, and his feet extended. He had quitted his sandals, according to the custom of the country, before he had laid himself on the couch. (Bible de Vence) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Luke 7:36-50

36-50 None can truly perceive how precious Christ is, and the glory of the gospel, except the broken-hearted. But while they feel they cannot enough express self-abhorrence on account of sin, and admiration of his mercy, the self-sufficient will be disgusted, because the gospel encourages such repenting sinners. The Pharisee, instead of rejoicing in the tokens of the woman's repentance, confined his thoughts to her former bad character. But without free forgiveness none of us can escape the... read more
